Ham Hands Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 Very cool. It's looking great. Did the missiles come separately? My kit just had the tanks. It seems a real bonus to have another of the same kit being built. I am really looking forward to seeing yours in its scheme. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azgaron Posted June 30, 2018 Author Share Posted June 30, 2018 Thanks Ham Hands! A friend of mine had all the Hasegawa weapons and crew sets, but didn't need them, so I made some trading with him. I took 2 AIM-4D from one of those sets, that I just painted white. Hase is a bit cheap when it comes to weapons! Yes, it's always nice to see other builds of the same kit. To see how others have done. I hope it'll turn out as good as my intentions, and hopefully my airbrush behaves good. Håkan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ham Hands Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 That was lucky. Good on you. Now I get to see the other scheme plus a loaded aeroplane. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azgaron Posted June 30, 2018 Author Share Posted June 30, 2018 Yeah, a bit of luck there. We both got what we wanted, so win-win! The 2nd take on the tanks and some other parts, turned out a lot better. The RB28's got a cote of white. Added a yellow stripe and black nose. I should have checked the panel lines on the tanks, before painting, but did a few takes with the scriber. Will sort that with some weathering later! A little detail paint. Last year I ordered the 3 colors I needed from FV-colours, which are supposed to be good match with the real colors. As usual I started shaking the bottle, but couldn't hear much, so I opened it, and the color is thick as Citadel colors. Is it supposed to be like that? Perhaps I should have ordered MRP instead.

Ham Hands Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 You're doing a great job. Really nice. I too had to re-scribe the tanks. Yours look great. It's very nice to see the missiles. I'm looking forward to seeing them on your model. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azgaron Posted June 30, 2018 Author Share Posted June 30, 2018 Thank you! After diluting the color quite a lot, I was able to lay down a cote or two, on the underside. It didn't behave quite as I wanted, but I think one more layer will sort that out. Then I can start masking for the metal paint onn the belly. Will try to mask and paint different shades of gray and black, before I start painting alu. Håkan 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ham Hands Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Hi Håkan. It is looking great. I am looking forward to seeing it completed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azgaron Posted July 1, 2018 Author Share Posted July 1, 2018 Thanks! I put on another layer of grey. And then I destroyed it by trying to post shade. Thinking of laying a thin layer of grey on top of it, without taking away too much of the lighter tone. Or perhaps it's enough to just make a wash.

Ham Hands Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Looking good. That underside will look great when its done I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azgaron Posted July 1, 2018 Author Share Posted July 1, 2018 Thanks Ham Hands! I hope so. Thinking of using oil colors to make "rain" streaks. Going for a worn look, if I can pull it off the way I intended. Håkan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azgaron Posted July 3, 2018 Author Share Posted July 3, 2018 I put on one more thin layer of grey. Quite happy how that turned out, so time for some masking. First I did a few splashes of grey, and then masked and painted dark panzer grey. On with some more tape and some black. Looks wierd, with the tape off. Lastly I painted a thin layer of aluminium, or actually several cotes, until I was satisfied. Off with the tape! It turned out way better than I've hoped, and the nuances are a bit more evident than what can be seen in the pics. Next I'll turn to the 2 topside camo colors. Hoping I can do them justice!

Azgaron Posted July 3, 2018 Author Share Posted July 3, 2018 Thanks André and Simon! Yeah, it took quite a toll on the tape! Will need more for the topside, and some blue tak rolls too, I guess. Håkan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azgaron Posted July 13, 2018 Author Share Posted July 13, 2018 Masked in preparation for the topside paint. After that I ran out of tape, at least that brand. Have to get some new. Started painting the green color, which took a total of 3 full (small) cups in the airbrush. Thinking of how to proceed. Either lay a lighter post shade on the green, and then mask for the blue, or mask and do the blue, and do a post shade with white or light gray on both. Trying to achieve somthing like what I've done on the underside. Håkan 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azgaron Posted July 19, 2018 Author Share Posted July 19, 2018 I hope I didn't destroy it now then! Perhaps I'll add a thin cote of the base color, before masking for the blue. Håkan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
